Averatec introduces 25.5-inch D1200 all-in-one PC
Engadget
Darren Murph writes about a new all-in-one PC/TV combo solution from Averatec.
“Averatec has just cut loose details on its newest machine, a 25.5-inch PC / TV combo that looks to take on the likes of MSI’s AE1900. The D1200 all-in-one PC comes equipped with a hybrid digital / analog TV tuner and supports buttery smooth 1080p playback. Specs wise, you’ll find a 2.5GHz dual-core E5200 processor, 320GB hard drive, 4GB of memory and Vista Home Premium (64-bit). There’s also an 8x DVD burner, 2 megapixel webcam, WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, Intel’s G4500HD graphics, a wireless remote and a panel that’s either WXGA or 1,920 x 1,200, depending on which version of the rundown you read. At any rate, it’s up for order as we speak for a buck under $1,000.”

Apple delivers another homerun with new iPhone
Network World
Yoni Heisler writes about Apple’s next-generation iPhone, the 3G S, where the “S” stands for “speed.”
“The iPhone 3G S comes with an improved camera with auto-focus functionality, though the new camera comes in at 3 Megapixels, as opposed to the 3.2 figure which had been previously rumoured. The new iPhone camera has a few more tricks up its sleeve, though. It has a new feature called ‘tap to focus,’ which allows users to direct the camera’s focus as they wish. It also includes settings for taking pictures in low light (finally!) as well as a macro mode for up-close and personal shots. The original camera on the iPhone has long been a source of discontent for iPhone users, so it’s nice to see Apple finally upping the ante. The new iPhone will also support video recording.”
